Welcome back to the island of St. Maarten for the penultimate day of play at the WPT Caribbean Main Event. The final 15 players will return at 4 p.m. local time to march down to the final table of six.

The chip leader at the start of play is Christophe Rosso with 474,000. He will have some tough competition to face in his drvie to the final table thanks to the fact that five WPT Champions Club member are still in the hunt for another WPT title.
